    What is the best material to wear at night?

    • Fluorescent

    • Reflective

    • Anything brightly coloured

    Correct Answer
    A. Reflective
    Explanation
    Reflective material is the best to wear at night because it reflects light, making the person wearing it more visible in the dark. This is especially important for safety purposes, as it helps drivers and other people to see the wearer and avoid accidents. Fluorescent and brightly colored materials may be visible during the day, but they do not reflect light as effectively as reflective material does at night.

    • 40 miles per hour

    • 60 miles per hour

    • 70 miles per hour
